Recorded my friend John doing weighted pull ups. This will help increase lats and help with the inverted triangle look!

Today's workout was all about targeting the chest, triceps, and shoulders, focusing on building strength and muscle definition. Here's a detailed look at the exercises performed and their benefits: 1. Flat Bench Press (Chest) The flat bench press is a classic compound movement that primarily targets the pectoral muscles, with secondary involvement from the triceps and shoulders. It's an excellent exercise for building overall chest mass and strength. - Lie flat on the bench with your feet firmly planted on the ground. - Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. - Lower the bar to your mid-chest, keeping your elbows at about a 45-degree angle. - Press the bar back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms. 2. Incline Bench Press (Chest) The incline bench press shifts the focus to the upper portion of the chest, helping to create a more balanced and defined chest appearance. It also engages the shoulders and triceps. - Set the bench at a 30-45 degree angle. - Use a similar grip to the flat bench press. - Lower the bar to your upper chest, maintaining control. - Press the bar back up, squeezing your chest muscles at the top. 3. Skull Crushers (Triceps) Skull crushers are an isolation exercise targeting the triceps, crucial for building arm strength and size. - Lie on a flat bench with a barbell or EZ curl bar. - Extend your arms straight up, then bend at the elbows to lower the weight towards your forehead. - Extend your arms back to the starting position without locking out your elbows. 4. Tricep Pull Downs (Triceps) Tricep pull downs are another great tricep isolation exercise, using a cable machine to provide constant tension. - Attach a straight bar or rope to the high pulley. - Keep your elbows close to your body and pull the bar down until your arms are fully extended. - Slowly return to the starting position, controlling the weight. 5. Lateral Raises (Shoulders) Lateral raises focus on the medial (middle) part of the deltoids, helping to build shoulder width and improve overall shoulder definition.

Most people believe running and HIIT cardio is the fastest way to lose weight. Although that is true, muscle mass is the first to go when doing these workouts regularly. If you incorporate enough protein, progressive overload workouts and LISS (Low Intensity Steady State) cardio, you will see more body fat loss and muscle strength gain/retention.
